This is so much fun. Bill Parker imagined what it would look like if a Jedi wore a GoPro and came up with this kick ass first person footage of the Jedi swinging his light saber around to fight Stormtroopers and blow up AT-ATs. Like those other GoPro videos that feature crazy stunts, seeing another point of view lets… »7/15/15 1:33pm 7/15/15 1:33pm

The debate on the lightsaber/broadsword from Star Wars: The Force Awakenscontinues. This hilariously absurd video is perhaps the most rabid criticism to JJ Abram's new lightsaber idea (which, quite frankly, I like very much even if it doesn't make sense.) And it's really well made too. »1/20/15 6:41pm 1/20/15 6:41pm

OK, so this should be labelled with extreme hazard warnings or something. A crazy laser enthusiast actually built his own lightsaber capable of burning straight through things. »5/28/13 7:30am 5/28/13 7:30am

If lightsabers ever become real, and let's be honest some genius will dedicate his entire life into making that happen, I hope the entire world will be well practiced in how to handle them. Sure the ballet of Star Wars characters fighting in light sabers looks great (or ridiculous), but when you get an up close view… »5/08/13 8:39pm 5/08/13 8:39pm

What the hell? Wicked Lasers has actually made a lightsaber. I mean, not one that can cut you in half, but one that looks and acts like the actual Jedi weapon! At least, that's what they claim: »5/04/12 1:06pm 5/04/12 1:06pm

Imagine you could make any of these weapons real. Which one would you choose? Gandalf the White's staff, Vader's lightsaber, Arthur's Excalibur, Doctor Who's Sonic Screwdriver or Harry Potter's wand? Discuss in the comments. Or just get the t-shirt at [Redbubble] »3/29/12 10:16am 3/29/12 10:16am

It's easy to pick on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace because of Jar Jar. And well, everything else too. But you know what's always fun about Star Wars? The light saber battles! This video, however, hilariously points out how silly they look like on closer inspection. »3/19/12 8:20pm 3/19/12 8:20pm

In honor of May the Fourth (be with you), the real-life lightsaber has gone over to the dark side. The special "Sith Series" edition of the Spyder III, available now as an actual thing you can buy and use and burn things with, combines two Spyder III portable lasers locked together at the boring end by a Spyder… »5/04/11 11:20am 5/04/11 11:20am

Two elderly French gentlemen engage in an argument over wine or baguettes or mandatory five week vacations or what have you, when OH MAN LIGHTSABERS. Thank you, internet. I take back everything I ever said, etc. [Reddit] »2/24/11 3:13pm 2/24/11 3:13pm

The blade is ridiculously bright and lights up in an instant, the handle is gorgeous and beautifully constructed, I mean, everything about this lightsaber is just perfect. Even Luke Skywalker would be drooling over this. Watch it light up: »1/01/11 9:00pm 1/01/11 9:00pm

Get your printer and lamination machines ready, because this Lightsaber comparison chart is definitely worthy of your walls. It sorts the goodies from the baddies, even if there is some contention over the color of Mace Windu's 'saber. »6/24/10 5:59am 6/24/10 5:59am

When residents of Shizuoka were trying to figure out how to top last summer's Gundam statue, they did the obvious. Look for the new, lightsaber version this summer (OK, technically "beam saber"—but we know the truth). [Kotaku] »3/22/10 8:17am 3/22/10 8:17am
